Inertia...Inertia...laziness...laziness...If there is any one giving awards for this I am sure to be receipient...I have tried to get back to blogging all month long ...all year long and all decade long....but it just hasnt happened...Let me not get into the detailed excuses that any one can give....

This year has been different....We were just back from a whirlwind trip of Singapore - Bangalore - Kochi - Dubai - London all in a span of less than 14 days....All in all I think I slept in almost 10 different beds in the 14 days of travel....so now you see I had a reason not to blog...

Well this post is not about that its about what I intend to do this month and decade...

Well I have concluded that while the first is in my hand the second isn't completely...

So this year I thought let me begin taking one...reduce weight...Now I am not getting into how I am going to do it...and but I can tell you soemthing

I need to immediatelty reduce 20 kgs...I know thats a lot...so I really need a miracle...

I am in no hurry and would be happy even a kilogram in a month....so all of you be prepared to get an update every month if I managed to reduce at all....Its an onerous task for me....and I have not been able to do it last 5 years even when I really wanted to...the second objective will wait as you see in further post what I am busy with most days....

So here I am with my new year/new decade resolution - a month late...its late than never I believe!

This post was long overdue and ideally posted on December 11th...Thats how life has been just trying to catch up...but I am determined it should be posted at least on Jan 11th.

This is written how she would have hopefully perceived the world as it unfolded when she was 9 years old...

I turned 9 at Taipei .I remember cutting the cake on a cold morning and heading to school.I cut a cake in school too.I was really excited to spend a whole evening with two of my best friends at the American Club Taipei...Swimming and having all junk food.

Within a week we went to Singapore and then to Kochi where my grandparents live.We celebrated Xmas there...When we headed back my Mom told me that I am no longer going to school in Taipei.It is time for us to move again...

The remaining days were hard as my parents were busy settling lots of things before we move.I was lucky to go to school one day and say Bye to all my friends...

We then landed in London and had to stay in Canary Wharf.It was a great break from all the activities I was involved in.The only thing we could do in the service apartment was watch local British Channels. We missed Disney Channel a lot.We were either looking at houses or watching TV.As usual my mom continued to pester me to do Kumon sheets but we did very little work.

About 10 days after our arrival it was snowing...we enjoyed watching the snowfall from the balconies as mom was very scared to send us out to play with snow should we fall sick...We finally moved to our home with very little things.Its going to be months before our things arrive.I began at a new school and started making friends...I used to be one of the youngest in my old school now I am one of the oldest.I am not too happy about it but there was no choice.

After about three weeks, I got admission in the current school and I had to move to the 6th primary school.I was thrilled to find out I was one of the best swimmers in my class.I spoke with American accent and people often asked me if I was from America.

As we settled down my family made friends with N one of my special friends in London...the only problem is we live very far away so we dont get to see each other very often.

We went to Paris Disney Land and to America during summer.I always wanted to go to America.It was a wish come true.I really liked the Niagara Falls.

The summer days were fun as we could cycle in the evenings and we made lots of friends in the neighbourhood.

I also acted in a pantomime for the first time.It was long hours of practice and I slowly gave up my dreams of becoming an actress.I am good at singing and I thing I will stick with that.

I started enjoying chess a lot more than before.Finally I turned 10 and my mum held a Xmas party at home on the same day.We had good fun.
